FINE.

I'll look through it. I'm typically not impressed with podcasts, but I'll give this one a try. I mean, blizzard podcasts can't impress me, so... I'm one tough cookie in that regard.

Excellent job guys. I normally don't like podcasts, but when it's Kingdom Hearts; how can i pass it up. hah. Couple of suggestions.

Try and loosin up and make it more enjoyable, not so much informational/factual. I know it was the first one, but you should look into being a little more comedic. I mean its not necessary, but alot more enjoyable!

and Mike and Pete need better mics, again; not necessary, but more easy on the ears.

Other then that great job for real. i hope you guys start, weekly or monthly podcasts!~


Oh and happy 4th KHU! ;]

Just as I was telling Mike, it's only our first episode and I'm hopeful for what we bring in the future. I can't promise this, but bringing people from other fansites to talk on the show is an idea that has been thrown around and we're seeking to do the next step.

Your suggestions help us, especially now that people seemingly want a more lighter tone for the podcast, this gives me a incentive to mess around with the format and bring more entertainment than information. Or a mix? smile.gif

The sound quality needs to be worked with, but we record from a voice chat server and because we're all in different time zones, it's difficult to put together a podcast like this, because the sound quality goes down as well due to lag or whatever issues that come about because we're not all in the same room recording a podcast (that'd be much easier, but we don't all live in one place >_>)

i really enjoyed the podcast. it had great content and a ton of information. and will as you said i think that a mix of info and entertainment perhaps would be a good idea. and i liked how there was some music playing in the background. i look forward to more of these.

Well, I haven't had the time to listen to it all the way through, but the parts I did hear blew ma mind.... and like almost everyone else I don't usually listen to Podcasts, but this is KHU 4 years Baby!!!!!

So if you have any openings in your next podcast, Feel free to ask me, cause I would really love to be a part of it

EDIT: OMGosh!!!! I Just lisentened to it..... and found many new news articles all over google about kh3 on the wii..... It was supposedly real, yet some people are saying it is a fake as said later in this post. I guess the KHU staff can find out better than me. But I shall keep searching.

Off/On topic:Summary:

Nintendo revolution had this to say:

There are no scans of the article and there are no other reports concerning the particular magazine issue. For the moment, the story is as credible as the original poster. Although he joined in November, he has started only two threads on N4G, the first one being about ´God of War´ for PlayStation3.

His recent comments betray him as both a spammer and blatant anti-Sony fanboy, though. This greatly damages his credibility, for sure.

Since October, Nintendo Power is published by Future US, who I am currently trying to contact. Rest assured that I will update the story within the next few hours.

EDIT I was just able to reach the publisher´s New York office, where the advertising people are based. They did refer me back to the editorial staff in San Francisco - who are not yet in the office - but the colleague could not find any such story flicking through the March issue.

It seems very likely that this story is bogus. I will update again once I have final confirmation from the editorial staff.

EDIT The publisher´s editorial director just sent me a couple of mails clearly stating that the March issue makes no mention of ´Kingdom Hearts III´ whatsoever. The story is completely bogus, I am afraid.

On Topi: But great podcast guys I mean it

Not suprising information regarding that rumor in particular, we did nearly post it the other day. The one we discuss on the Podcast should be considered different as its from another source.

I Listened tot the podcast and I really enjoyed it to be honest. I didn't really had expectations for it but I was very surprised.

I also enjoyed the background music like Roxas theme and the Birth by Sleep theme, you guys should do that for the entire podcast.

I would like to comment to the rumor Kingdom Hearts 3 going to the Wii, this rumor was started by Surfer Girl like you said, but to be honest her credibility is not really high.

Though I like to share a story with you guys that you maybe find interesting: I work for a dutch gaming website ( http://www.gamed.nl ) and I search for a lot of information on gaming websites to post on our site, one day (about two or three months ago) I met a European (Belgian) Freelancer, named Ali and the name he always uses is Fishie. He is especially active on AM2, freelanced for a lot of magazines, and he does a lot of press trips (every year E3, Japan, Game Convention, etc.), that's why he has an enormous amount of contacts in the game industry.

Anyhow like I said I met him on a forum and one day he accidentally said something about Kingdom Hearts 3. I sent him a PM then with the question if he knows to which platform Kingdom Hearts 3 is going.

He said that Square-Enix has Kingdom Hearts 3 already in development for PlayStation 3 and have a special engine for it (probably the white engine). He said that it isn't impossible that Square-Enix eventually make Kingdom Hearts 3 a Wii game (or a KH spinn-off for the Wii), like Capcom did with Monster Hunter 3, but at the moment of speaking Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming for the PS3. smile.gif

Not really a big surprise if you know that Sony has shares of Square and probably don't want that such a big game goes to Nintendo. smile.gif

Anyhow maybe you guys don't believe me, but I swear to God that this story is true wink.gif
